If you are a woman with hearing loss......

• ·          You are twice as likely as a man to disclose your hearing loss (West & Konstantina, 2015).
• ·          You are better at offering suggestions to your conversational partners about how to enhance conversations (e.g., “My left ear has hearing loss, would you mind sitting on my right side?”) (W&K).
• ·         You are more comfortable with sustained eye contact, so you probably gain more benefit from the visual speech signal and from lipreading.
• ·          You are more likely to use hearing aids and to use them for longer periods at a time (Staehelin et al., 2011).

In other words, you're a rock star.
